Skyline Academy (Academy of Heroes)

If you can't think of a way for your character to be present when the stuff in the Zeroth post is happening, they could happen to be friends with a character who was. Feel free to collaborate with one another if you want to, but this intro is an opportunity for all our characters to meet :)

Skyline Academy (Academy of Heroes)

Rainna Rivera

The dormitory was alive with bright lights and fast music, and packed with students across all grades. Rainna subconsciously grooved to the tune as she pushed through the crowd that had gathered in the room, thoroughly enjoying the activity and company that currently surrounded her. One kid was scaling the wall, another was sipping her drink while suspended in midair, a couple more were putting on little shows for their companions with their element manipulation abilities, and bags of snacks and bottles were being passed around by telekinesis. She felt so accepted, so normal, so comfortable being around people just like her that the events that had led to her ending up at Skyline seemed but a distant memory. It had been five years since she had left home, and four since she was first enrolled, though, it was not as if she wanted to think back to those times. She was happy here, and that was what mattered.

"Yo Rivera, we're out," called one of the partygoers as he approached her, holding the large bowl that had contained the party mix upside down to emphasize what he had just said.

Rainna let out a dramatic sigh. "Alright, I guess I'll step out and get more stuff for the mix. Take care of things for me here while I'm gone, okay Sweetie?"

She opened the dormitory door only slightly and peered out, checking the corridor to make sure that there were no staff members around to spot her, before quietly darting out. There was a twenty-four hour convenience store not far from the back gate of the school, and Rainna knew that the quickest way to the gate from the student hostel was across the academy courtyard. Not expecting anyone else to be at the courtyard at such an hour, she nearly gave herself away as she prepared to dash across, and stopped just in time when she caught sight of a stranger in a mask with a little boy. Thankful that they had not seen her, she cautiously crept to the fountain and crouched behind it, waiting to see what they would do, or what would happen next.

It did not take long for the headmaster to appear and approach the masked stranger, to Rainna's confusion. Headmaster Outterridge had been a rather enigmatic individual ever since he had stepped up to the position a year ago. He rarely spoke or interacted with the students apart from any announcements he would give at assemblies. She had never thought much of it, until now. What was he involved in? What was that in his hand, and who were the man in the mask and the child to him? After both parties had left the area, she waited just a moment more before standing up and moving from her position behind the fountain.

"What was all that even about?" She muttered, completely forgetting about what she had left her dormitory to do.

Skyline Academy - Courtyard

11:00 p.m.

In the middle of the large, deserted space stood a man in a black suit with a gold and blue Venetian mask concealing the top half of his face. He kept a firm hand on the shoulder of a frightened little boy who looked no older than five or six as he repeatedly tapped his foot on the ground, expectantly scanning his surroundings for any movement. It turned out that he was waiting to meet with somebody, by the light smirk that formed on his face when another man stepped out into the open and approached him. The second stopped a few feet away from the masked man, ensuring that the both of them were at a cautious distance from each other.

"Outterridge, I assume that you have it?" The masked individual enquired, jumping straight to the point of their meeting.

The headmaster held out a black capsule which appeared glossy under the soft moonlight, and stepped closer to the stranger who grabbed it from his hand while shoving the child towards him. The headmaster caught the crying boy as he stumbled forward and put a comforting arm around him. The masked man then swiftly left the premises after getting what he came for, and the headmaster warily glanced around the courtyard before ushering the traumatized child inside.

Skyline Academy (Academy of Heroes)

Name: Rainna Rivera

Age: 18

Appearance:


Backstory: Having lost her parents at an early age due to an incident involving a rogue mutant, Rainna, for most of her life, was raised by her older brother, who had developed a resentment for mutants due to the aforementioned mishap. Rainna was at a loss as to what to do on the day she discovered her abilities, but eventually decided to run from her home and out onto the streets when she felt that she could no longer face her brother and guardian.

She was not out there for long, however, thanks to her being at the right place at the right time to stop an attempted robbery of a woman in an alley one night. The woman, who was grateful for Rainna’s heroic act, was distraught to learn that the then thirteen-year-old girl did not have a home and readily took her in. Well aware of the girl's superhuman abilities, Rainna's adoptive mother began to seek out any connection she could to The Academy and enrolled her there. With a new start with young people who were just like her, Rainna continued keeping her past a secret, hoping that her brother would give up searching for her one day, if he has not already done so.

Abilities/Weaknesses: Rainna is able to generate a sweet-smelling mist, similar to floral perfume. However, despite the alluring smell of this mist, it has some hazardous effects. Rainna can produce this mist through her mouth and nostrils at will, and is able to control the concentration of the mist when she does. At lower concentrations, breathing it in can cause headaches, dizziness, and even unconsciousness after prolonged exposure. Her mist in high concentration can cause an acid-like burning to flesh and haemoptysis if inhaled. This can lead to death if not promptly treated. A continuous stream of this highly-concentrated mist can corrode metal and other materials of similar resistance or weaker.

Generating highly-concentrated mist drains Rainna’s energy, causing her to slip into unconsciousness after prolonged use of the ability. Also, the mist will start to break down a minute after it is released into the air, and its effects will then be lost completely.

Personality: Rainna is ever-curious and adventurous. She is usually perky and optimistic as well as warm and friendly, though some may find her lack of consideration for personal space to be rather annoying. Since she can be really comfortable around others, her naturally blunt words may also unintentionally get on one's nerves. She is easily excitable, and her childlike enthusiasm is apparent most of the time. She dislikes negativity and finds joy in cheering her peers up, or at least attempting to. Although she does this with good intentions, it can be to a point that she appears to lack empathy.

Skyline Academy (Academy of Heroes)

Skyline Academy

Skyline Academy - the sole educational institution in the world established to cater to the needs and interests of gifted youth. Located in the city of New Nova, the boarding school is the main attraction of the small island city about a mile from the coast of its mainland. The opening of the academy was a response to the rising population of gifted individuals over the past decades and has met with mixed reactions from the public. While many are optimistic about the ability of the institution to nurture its students into respectable members of society, even heroes, perhaps, the actions of rogue mutants and the general fear of such gifts have caused others to be prejudiced against these individuals. For years, young mutants facing such rejection have taken refuge within the walls of the academy, enabling them to grow and learn in the safety and comfort it provides. However, recent events have started to challenge this sense of security, leading students to believe that Skyline may not truly be the sanctuary it is made out to be.
